has electric offensive skills and elite playmaking qualities from the center position. can set up his linemates or finish off plays equally well. when he is on top of his game, he also displays some tenacity.

Flaws:

can get a little moody at times, and can go stretches where he is neutralized by the opposition. so, he needs to improve his focus and game-to-game consistency. also needs to shoot the puck more.

Scouting:

outstanding playmaking center with some upside.
